Tips to find a great nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced nannies with 10+ years. References matter more than years.
- Consider a share. If your kids are similar ages and you live near another family, a share is the single biggest cost reduction available without compromising on care.
- Be specific about hours upfront. Most nannies will take a slightly lower rate for a guaranteed steady schedule than for a higher-rate, unpredictable one.
- Bundle benefits thoughtfully. Two weeks PTO, a health stipend, transit passes, education assistance, or an annual raise commitment can help close the gap with families offering a higher hourly rate.
- Match rate to responsibilities. A higher rate often makes sense once you add cooking, errands, or driving. Don't compare apples to oranges across listings.

A little bit about me
Before that, I spent six years as a paraprofessional and Behavior Technician, working one-on-one and in small groups with children, including those with autism. I love watching children grow, gain confidence, and reach new milestones through play and everyday learning.
I’m also currently earning my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Development, which helps me better understand and support children’s growth.
When I’m not working, I enjoy reading and creative projects. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, reliable care for your little one(s)!

A little bit about me
My main care style is gentle-parenting focused on setting boundaries and working toward self-growth. Building up a child's self-esteem through emotional, self regulation is something I find very important. We'll work toward problem solving, practical life lessons, and self-regulating exercises.
I look forward to working with a family that is communicative about their child's needs, setting clear boundaries, and child care expectations. Look forward to working as a team to provide the best experience for your child(ren).
